EOXIoUS ANIMALS.

The objections made by several jour
mails published i'll the eusteln n, portion Of
the Stats. to, the bill introduced in the
Legislature by Assemblyman Hanks, of
Elko county, providing for the payment
OF a bounty for the scllps of noxious
animals, are good ones. While all I'D
=. nit that the pests are doing great DAM
age, the bounties to be paid, five cents
zach for rabbits and one and one half
cents each for squirrels and gophers-
it is claimed, will bankrupt the cUanti, 8
most effected. By those not conversant
wi. b their habits. it is little understood
that the timid, innocent-looking and
apparently defenceless rabbit is cupa-
BILE, under circumstances favorable for
its propagation, Of becoming 80 great II
scourgc in country rs to render it an
uninhabituhle Wilderness.
The above is from the Sagebrush
Stockmun in reference to the Law ju It
passed by the Legislature providing for
WIG hOAlOllo ituNt
while we do not believe TINT the bouu-
ties to be paid will ''bankrupt the couu-
ty," we do noe doubt that the amount
which will be paid under the law will be
considerable; Lut if tine fearful destruc.
ton of crops viii h hive heretofore
been suffered by ranchers throu shDut
she county Can be avoided even by the
payment of lurSe sums from the county
treasury, the county viii be the gainer.
1t is . question, however, whather the
number of rabbits and squirrels taken
will materially lessen tho in VOC commit
ted by these pests, AZ there are such
myriads of them that it il cluimel how
avrr many MAY be caught their numbers
will not DO. pero,'ptibly diminished.
The efficacy of the 'aw can only be de-
terinined by practical application OF
provisions.
